Chapter 67 I'm here to take you home
Heavy rain fell day and night in Mobei, and Mobei was not as hot as before.
Yun Huai’s demise seemed as if even God was mourning for him.
They had the will but not the power, so they let it rain, as if to mourn for this young and successful general who had spent half his life in the military.
After Xie Bingzhen woke up, his condition had recovered a lot. At least, although he was a little weak, his mind was clear.
There was no more trouble.
Seems to have accepted Yun Huai's death.
Lu Zhe returned Yun Huai's last belongings to her.
"I'll wait for tomorrow and tomorrow, I just hope you can be free and easy." Xie Bingzhen read it softly, his knuckles turning white as he clutched the letter.
No matter how calmly she faced it, she couldn't control the sadness in her heart.
Xie Bingzhen was trembling all over, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He walked out slowly.
Yangcheng is next to Yujia Mountain. It is quiet and muddy. In the hot northern desert, all she can feel is the chill.
The coffin stopped at the station on a small road in Yangcheng.
Xie Bingzhen tried his best to restrain himself, and slowly walked to Yun Huai, touching the most primitive grain of agarwood, his eyes full of tenderness:
"Ah Huai, I'm here to take you home."
As soon as Xie Bingzhen woke up, a soldier notified Yun Rui. By the time Yun Rui rushed over, Xie Bingzhen had already recovered to her former appearance as a noble lady from a prominent family.
His whole body was filled with the forced integrity and propriety.
Everyone's demeanor is evident at a glance.
"Uncle Yun, thank you." Xie Bingzhen thanked them tiredly. The clouds outside brought in the only ray of sunshine in these days.
It looked as if Xie Bingzhen had not yet married.
Yun Rui was a little gloomy: "Bingzhen, what are your plans for the future?"
"You are still young. If you want to...divorce Yun Huai, the Yun family will definitely agree..."
Xie Bingzhen tilted his head, seemingly confused: "Uncle Yun, what are you talking about?"
"I want to take Yun Huai home. Lu Zhe has been very hard during these days of exile. Fu Zhi is also at home. Fu Zhi's legs are not in good condition. If I take Yun Huai back, I will take care of our home. Jiao Jiao is in the palace. I have to visit her from time to time. I don't want the little Jiao to suffer any grievances in the palace..."
His hands stroked the edge of the coffin countless times, but Xie Bingzhen's heart and eyes were filled with one person:
"Uncle Yun, don't worry, I will take good care of the Yun family..."
From then on, she was no longer Madam Xie, but Madam Yun, who had established herself as a lady in the family.
Xie Bingzhen will never leave the Yun family again.
"Bingzhen..." Yun Rui wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. "Bingzhen, thank you. The Yun and Yun families are old friends. I can see how you feel about Yun Huai. There is really no need..."
He sacrificed the rest of his life for the broken Yun family.
Not worth it.
Such a good woman, after divorce and remarriage, will definitely have a good ending.
Xie Bingzhen was very determined: "Uncle Yun, my eldest brother should be here soon. You just need to assign us a team to escort Ah Huai's coffin."
Lu Zhe looked at her from a distance, not knowing if it was an illusion, but it seemed that Madam Xie glanced at him.
When he was young, Madam Xie was always stricter with him than Yun Fuzhi, and he was resentful and did not dare to get close to her.
When he grew up a little, he realized that his adoptive mother was pure and sincere, and never had any ill will towards him. She was not like other adoptive mothers who were either suspicious or flattering him.
Therefore, he felt that he was very lucky.
Lu Zhe lowered his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes. It was because of his youth and arrogance that his adoptive father...
"Lu Zhe, this is not your fault."
Blood kept gushing out of Yun Huai's mouth, just like Lu Zhe's tears dripping.
He thought that he had grown into the teenager he is today and had long lost his emotions as a human being, but he didn't realize that his heart still hurt.
The man in front of him never cared too much about his studies, but he always provided for him, and would take Yun Fuzhi along when he asked about his homework.
The Yun family is not his home, but it seems to be no different from what the world understands as home.
This was the first time he shed tears in sixteen years. No pain, sadness, or despair had ever been as severe as today.
His heart, shrouded in indifference, was irrigated by the blood that continued to flow from Yun Huai, and thus slowly melted away.
"Father...Father, don't..."
Lu Zhe burst into tears and almost collapsed.
It seemed that only at this moment did he finally have real human emotions.
Yun Jiaojiao really touched Lu Zhe's heart. Because of Yun Jiaojiao's existence, Lu Zhe could temporarily distinguish that there might still be some beauty in this world.
Yun Huai's lips moved, he found that he could no longer speak, he used all his strength to force a smile, he even wanted to touch the head of the young man in front of him before his death, but in the end he failed to do it.
He put down his hand.
Lu Zhe's eyes turned red as he calmly put down Yun Huai's slowly cooling body.
He kowtowed heavily.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are heartbroken.
The soldiers present were almost blood-thirsty, and after the battle, everyone spontaneously surrounded the foster father and son in silence.
No one knew that Yun Rui apologized to his deceased brother behind everyone's back, choking and madly apologizing.
It's his fault.
"Lu Zhe, stand up straight!" A whip landed loudly beside Lu Zhe.
The loud and crisp sound startled the orioles in the forest, and the wind blew, and the grass and trees rustled.
Lu Ze raised his eyes and saw that Madam Xie no longer looked as shocked as before. She was holding a red whip in her hand, looking dashing and heroic.
"From now on, I am your mother." Xie Bingzhen walked towards Lu Zhe with a hard and cold look in his eyes, as if he was a little unkind.
Lu Zhe pursed his lips, his figure was as slender as a delicate orchid.
"From now on, you, Lu Zhe, will be in the military camp, representing the Yun family of Wu'an Marquis Mansion in Shangjing. You are the Yun family's pillar in the army. Don't let your father down." Xie Bingzhen walked steadily to Lu Zhe, holding the whip and slightly restrained his hand to straighten Lu Zhe's collar.
"Swords are silent on the battlefield. I know my words don't carry enough weight. Take care of yourself. This is also your father's last wish."
"I'll wait for you to hold the funeral for Dong Yi."
Xie Bingzhen's hands were shaking, and he turned around like an autumn leaf, swaying and about to fall.
Lu Ze's expression became stern, and he tightly grasped the sword in his right hand. In an instant, he turned into the taciturn, extremely cold, and stern-tempered young man of the Yun family.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."
The sound of wind and sand behind him could not extinguish the determination in the young man's heart.
That’s right, now in the military camp, the Yun Family Army, and the Mobei Iron Cavalry, he and Yun Rui are the only two people from the Yun Family in Shangjing.
From the other side of Yangcheng Road came the sound of a horse neighing.
Yun Rui ordered, "Is Team B-3 here?"
"I'm here." Zhou Min immediately came out of the team with red and swollen eyes. It was obvious that he had cried.
Yun Rui said in a restrained voice: "Starting today, you will lead Team B 3 to be responsible for Yun Huai's coffin and Bing Zhen's safety. Make sure they are safely delivered to Shangjing."
"I will obey your orders and will not let you down!" Zhou Min cried, his voice firm and murderous, "If anyone wants to touch the general, he must step over my body first!"
"I will always remember the general's kindness in recognizing my talents."
Yun Rui looked at the young marquis Xie Bingcheng who had hurried over. His eyes moved back and forth over Yun Huai's coffin, and the words he spoke dissipated like smoke:
"Go ahead."
Woo woo woo, I love Uncle Yun and Old Man Yun so much.
But no.
Can you give me a few more collections? Are you so heartless?
